Rabbit, Rabbit

[mrdreamjeans]

 I went down a rabbit hole of FB statistics yesterday. (Anyone who really knows me understands how I think in statistics.) I have 1131 names on my FB friends list. Forty of these FB friends and I have 100+ mutual friends. The majority of the 40 people live in Seattle. All with 100+ mutual friends are theater people. The person with whom I share the most FB friends is Jamie Rocco ... 172 (probably because I've worked with Jamie in Houston and Seattle and I live in Minneapolis as he does now)! No one on my Facebook was just randomly "friended".

Sadly, 24 of the people who are my Facebook friends are deceased. I've not removed their names yet ... maybe, I never will ... I forgot to mention what triggered the rabbit hole trip: Sept 24th was the anniversary of my dear friend Gabrielyn Watson's death. I think it's important to say her name. Miss you, Gaby!

The governor of Florida is allowing all restaurants and businesses to resume operation without restrictions.

The governor of Minnesota is continuing to allow businesses to operate with precautions/restrictions.

I won't give my business to a restaurant or store that isn't willing to value my life. Would you? Open up without restrictions if you want Florida and Texas businesses, I won't be supporting you!
